SES-6 will be used to replace the aging NSS 806 spacecraft at 40.5 degrees West longitude. Originally launched by an Atlas 2AS rocket in February 1998 under the name Intelsat 806, this particular satellite is being targeted for replacement by SES 6 to significantly expand capacity over North America, Latin America and the Caribbean, Europe and Atlantic Ocean region. The craft's C-band package adds high-power capacity to cable TV distributors in Americas and Europe to relay more channels. The Ku-band transponders will be used for direct-to-home services and digital growth across Latin America for Spanish and Portuguese speaking customers. The payload also supports aeronautical and maritime mobility services over the Atlantic.
